Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site

Battlefield

Preserved site of the July 15–16, 1779 assault. The rocky promontory commands the Hudson River narrows. Contains reconstructed earthworks, walking trails following the assault routes, the 1826 lighthouse, and a museum with period artifacts including ordnance recovered from the site. The steep, rocky terrain communicates viscerally what Wayne's men accomplished in darkness.
